I Have Infinite Skill Points

From his backpack, Wang Lan took out a small blue bottle resembling a perfume container, but the substance inside was more paste-like.

Star Martial Warriors generally didn't bring irrelevant items to the trial field. All cumbersome items, such as cell phones, were left in storage lockers. Yet, besides the Soul Beads, there was also this seemingly useless item in his backpack.

"Who cares what it is? Just count them. See how many there are."

"You guys do the counting. Xiangwen, keep a close watch. Don't screw up now."

"Understood. Haven't you seen my Heavenly Eye open this whole time?"

Gong Feiyu quickly took the bag and began counting with incredible speed. In less than a minute, he finished, "One thousand."

"Wow, we're rich! It's like they say, 'a horse doesn't get fat without night fodder, a man doesn't get rich without a windfall.' The ancients truly weren't kidding!"

One kilometer away from where Wang Lan was resting, thirteen people gathered around the three that Wang Lan had killed. The way they lay there, the shock still lingering on their faces, was deeply imprinted, as if frozen in time.

"The opponent struck very quickly; Qi didn't even have time to react. It must have been a successful ambush..."

"With Qi's strength and experience, he actually got taken down by a few students? I can't quite believe it. Lei, could there be someone else?"

"I don't give a damn if there's someone else. Qi was my brother... His death must be avenged! Where are those five students?"

"Based on their direction, they should have gone that way."

"Chase!"

Elsewhere, by the lake where Wang Lan and the others were resting, all five had absorbed Soul Beads to replenish their Star Power, ensuring they were in optimal condition for combat.

"Lanzi, they're coming."

"How many?"

"Thirteen! Three at the Star Cloud Stage, ten at the Star Shine Stage. They're not moving fast; they're tracking our footprints. They're all old hands, very cautious."

"Those who aren't cautious are already dead. Stick to the plan!"

"Understood!"

"Footprint analysis complete. Confirmed there are five of them: three men, two women," a Star Martial Warrior in the group of thirteen, skilled in intelligence analysis, spoke in a low voice.

"It seems there's no one else, just those five students. They must have used their student identities to get close to Qi and successfully ambushed him."

"Chase!"

The thirteen people accelerated instantly, reaching the vicinity of the lake in the blink of an eye.

SWISH, SWISH, SWISH— Suddenly, arrows shot out from the forest. This startled the group of thirteen, but they quickly realized the arrows, though unexpected, lacked any lethal power.

Easily dodging the arrows, many of them sneered inwardly with contempt.

"Damn it, who was so careless as to step into their warning trap?" Lei, his triangular eyes fierce, bellowed viciously.

"I…" one of them raised his hand.

This was a Star Martial Warrior at the Star Cloud Stage, also one of Lei's men.

"Lai, are you regressing? How could you step into such a basic trap? The enemy has been alerted, and they're definitely watching us from the shadows."

"They're just some students, Lei. No need to fuss. Let's just go in and kill them."

"Don't underestimate a few students; even Qi had his head taken by them. Moreover, if they can set up a warning trap that even you fell for, are these just ordinary students?"

"What ordinary student would dare to come to an intermediate trial field? But even if they are geniuses, so what? They're still unweaned children. They must lack experience. As long as we stick together and stay alert, they won't be able to pull off anything significant."

After pondering for a moment, Lei nodded. "Okay, go after them."

Instantly, the thirteen formed a triangular formation and charged toward the lakeside like the tip of a spear. At the same moment they moved, five figures dashed out from the riverside bushes, turning into afterimages as they ran towards the lake's surface.

The moment they jumped onto the lake's surface, a streak of white light illuminated it, and the lake froze solid where the five landed.

"An Ice Attribute Star Martial Warrior! It's them."

"Be careful of ambushes. Stay alert and follow."

"There are five people, all accounted for. No ambush. Chase!"

The lake was vast, about a kilometer across to the other shore. Wang Lan and his group sprinted desperately toward the opposite bank, not even glancing back once, giving the appearance of a panicked escape.

How could their pursuers miss such an opportunity? The lake surface offered wide visibility with nothing to hide behind. When Wang Lan and the others reached the center of the lake, Lei, leading the three Star Cloud Stage Star Martial Warriors, suddenly accelerated.

The distance between the two groups steadily closed.

"Lei—" The ten Star Shine Stage Star Martial Warriors behind couldn't keep up and had fallen ten meters behind the three.

BOOM— Suddenly, a huge explosion erupted from behind. The ice beneath the trailing ten shattered instantaneously. As it burst, the shards seemed to come alive, transforming into ice snakes that swallowed one Star Shine Stage Star Martial Warrior each.

As the explosion occurred behind them, the three Star Cloud Stage Star Martial Warriors in front had already reacted, quickly turning around.

But it was too late to help their comrades who were ten meters away. The three could only watch helplessly as their ten Star Shine Stage underlings were taken out by Jiang Xinyu in one move.

The sky filled with falling ice crystals, and suddenly it began to snow heavily.

Jiang Xinyu trod on the ice and snow, slowly approaching. In this moment, she truly lived up to her nickname.

The true demeanor of the Ice-Snow Queen.

"Good! Good! The ambush was beautifully executed!" Lei gritted his teeth as he looked at Jiang Xinyu. "You were hiding underwater from the start... One of your team members has a cloning ability. You switched clothes with him to confuse us.

"I had always been wary of you, but I didn't expect to still fall for your ploy. When I saw them jump onto the lake and the surface instantly froze, I was convinced you were among them.

"But I forgot, even if you hid underwater from the start, you could still freeze the lake's surface. It's just that your team's coordination led us to believe it was one of them who froze the lake.

"Young girl, at such a young age, you are already so shrewd. If you grow to your full potential, you would definitely be a blessing to humanity."

"For that to come from your mouth proves you are beyond salvation."

"Hahaha..." Lei laughed boisterously, looking up at the sky. "There's a saying that has always circulated in the world of Star Martial Warriors: Only those who've matured can be called geniuses. Those who die before maturing, we call them defective products.

"Our existence helps human civilization eliminate these defective products. We are indeed contributing to humanity..."

"Shameless to the extreme!"

"Young girl, your tactics were very successful. But unfortunately, you shouldn't have targeted my subordinates. They are merely at the Star Shine Stage. If you had ambushed and killed one of us first, you might still have had a chance to escape.

"Now... with the three of us at the Star Cloud Stage, how can you possibly win?"

"Wow, we're so scared! Three Star Cloud Stage experts, ooh..." A mocking voice came from behind them.

Xu Xiangwen and Gong Feiyu flanked them, pinning down the three in the middle, with Xie Sisi and Wang Lan providing support from farther away.

Star Power surged around Xu Xiangwen and Gong Feiyu. Their star palaces ascended overhead, with a Star Cloud slowly rotating in the middle of each.

The complexions of Lei and his two men instantly paled.

The intelligence was wrong! Damn it, those two weren't peak Star Shine Stage warriors; they were also at the Star Cloud Stage!

In that instant, Lei understood. The young girl in front of them hadn't made any tactical errors. She wasn't trying to escape with her life; what she wanted was to take him and his entire squad down.

These kids nowadays are truly something else!

The two must have broken through recently; otherwise, their Star Energy Fluctuation wouldn't be so chaotic.

Who should we try to break through?

The three battle-hardened Star Cloud Stage warriors moved in an instant. Their target was not Jiang Xinyu in front of them, but Xu Xiangwen behind them.

However, in an instant, Lei suddenly darted towards Gong Feiyu on the other side. Lei's move instantly darkened the faces of Lai and the other man.

By doing this, Lei was making the two of them attract Jiang Xinyu's attention, whose true strength was unknown. After all, the result of two or three of them rushing Xu Xiangwen would be the same. Xu Xiangwen, who had just broken through to the Star Cloud Stage and was still a novice, couldn't possibly withstand two Star Cloud Stage experts and might even be killed instantly. Therefore, Jiang Xinyu would definitely take action, her target absolutely being the two of them. Lei, charging alone to the other side, although not necessarily able to achieve a kill, would definitely not be attacked and would remain in an invincible position. Although this was the most self-serving course of action, it was utterly devoid of loyalty.

These thoughts flashed through the minds of the two men in an instant. By the time they processed this, they had already charged at Xu Xiangwen.

Jiang Xinyu instantly launched a Star Martial Skill from behind, but her target wasn't Lai and his companion, as Lei had assumed. It was Lei's own back.

What? How is this possible! Shock was written all over Lei's face.

Doesn't she care about her teammate's life? Did I happen to choose her boyfriend or something? It's clear that kid's life is hanging by a thread, yet she's coming after me?

Although Lei was shocked, his body reacted extremely fast. Almost instantly, a gust of wind enveloped him as he converted to the Wind Attribute just a tenth of a second before the frost attack hit.

BOOM—

The very moment Jiang Xinyu launched her attack, the ice behind Lai and his companion shattered. As it blew apart, a figure burst out from the frost.

The figure, hidden within the ice and snow, was indistinct. The only thing the two Star Cloud Stage Star Martial Warriors managed to see clearly as they hastily turned around were the purple flames blazing in his hands.

Wang Lan's dual blades came down like a bolt of lightning slashing the sky. By the time you saw the bolt, it had already struck.

"There's... a sixth... person?" Lai murmured in bewilderment as he watched the aloof Wang Lan land back on the ice.

A trickle of blood slowly seeped from his forehead, meandering down.

THUMP— A soft sound echoed—the sound of his comrade's head hitting the ice. It was also the last sound Lai would hear in his life. The next second, Lai's body split cleanly down the middle and collapsed to either side.

"Cross-level kill. Reward: 3,000 experience points, 30 skill points."

"Cross-level kill. Reward: 3,000 experience points, 30 skill points."

CRACK— A sound of ice shattering rang out.

A cyan shadow dropped swiftly, materializing as Lei on the ice. But at this moment, Lei's body was covered in frost, as if he had aged decades in an instant, turning into an old man.

He had seen the deaths of Lai and his other man with his own eyes. And it was precisely because he saw it so clearly that his heart was filled with terror.

What kind of people are these? What kind of monsters... Are they telling me they're students? Middle school students, my ass! They're ancient monsters, aren't they?
